Newcastle Bags Race 7

Arena Racing Company Stakes

Prize Money: $663

SWIFT HAIRY (6) was prominent early from trap five and stalked the lead before levelling up to score (30.16) at this track in an A8 over 480m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings seven times from 12 starts. Well placed and can measure up. DRUMNAFERN BLAZE (1) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 480m (30.00). Well placed this class and looks a key runner based on best form. PRESIDENTS DAY (4) recorded a 1.75 lengths second in an A8 last time 29.80 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. WIRTZ CLASS (3) claimed an A7 win two back before missing the frame at her latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 480m (30.12). Worth another chance this easier line-up.

Produced a much better performance last start when second over 480m at this track in an A7. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has a solid record from this trap including five wins. Expected to go well.

Last start finished last over 480m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (30.12) behind Tasmania Tori in an A7 on April 3. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in an A8 at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.
